That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 665 I Bet on the Fate of the Nation
After Li Ye finished speaking, Teacher Ke said with a smile: "Li Ye, your words sound quite encouraging! If I borrow them without hesitation, I can use them directly as manuscripts for my next report."

Teacher Ke is from the education system. When he gives a report, he must inspire students to have the motivation to "struggle". What Li Ye said just now is quite on the point.

"Why are you two being so polite?" Wen Qingsheng smiled and deliberately put on a stern face and instructed Li Ye: "Write a manuscript for your Aunt Ke tonight. Make sure the people who listen to the report will be more encouraged and confident."

"Hey, I'll touch it up tonight. I have to satisfy Aunt Ke."

Li Ye smiled and nodded, agreeing modestly.

However, Li Zhongfa frowned and asked in confusion: "Xiao Ye! You said that Dengta wants to transfer its low-end and even high-end industries to foreign countries, or it is irreversible. If their industries are transferred away, what will the workers in their country do?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "According to my observation, Lighthouse will retain the cutting-edge technology industry and focus on other high-profit industries. However, we cannot develop these high-profit industries, at least not now."

Li Zhongfa asked in surprise: "What high-profit industry can't we develop? Digging gold from the moon?"

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Grandpa, who told you about digging gold from the moon?"

Li Zhongfa said frankly: "Many people say so! Just a month ago, the Challenger space shuttle exploded. Some people said they were going to go to the moon to dig for gold."

"No, no, Grandpa, don't listen to their nonsense."

Li Ye was very embarrassed, because Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng were both nearby! Although they were almost family, if they didn't smile on their faces, wouldn't they be smiling in their hearts?
But unexpectedly, Wen Qingsheng also said: "I have heard about this matter, and it was said by scientific researchers.

They said that there are abundant precious metals on the moon, and that the Lighthouse people are the best in the world in terms of lunar exploration. If they are the first to develop the moon, the wealth they will gain will be immeasurable."

OK! It was the 1980s, and countless people were fooled by the Star Wars plan, even the think tanks in the Soviet Union were fooled.

The success of the Lighthouse Man's moon landing made people wholeheartedly acknowledge that it is a world-leading technological power, and attracted countless scientific researchers and research funds.
They flocked to Lighthouse, which promoted the further development of Lighthouse technology like a snowball effect and made Lighthouse a harvester of the world's top talents.

Not to mention other places, there are 25 Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley alone, of which more than are graduates from Tsinghua University alone.

It can be said that in the 1980s and 1990s, everyone in the world, even the Soviet Union, was thinking, "How should we learn to keep up with the lighthouse," and no one thought, "The lighthouse is wrong."

You said there is this kind of siphon effect. Even if the lighthouse landing on the moon is fake, doesn't it have to be true?
Li Ye said helplessly: "Uncle Wen, I really haven't thought about this. The other high-profit industries I mentioned are actually the financial services industry based on strong capital.
Capital is not responsible for production, they are only responsible for buying and selling
We can compare the lighthouse to a very wealthy landowner, and we were assigned to be small farmers, or even tenants. He sold us seeds and tools, and after we harvested, he would take away a large amount of food and then sell it at a higher price.

“Isn’t this exploitation?”

Li Zhongfa frowned and said, "So the high-profit industry you mentioned is exploitation? If you want to say it's exploitation, who wouldn't say it? And what else do you mean we can't develop? We don't have such a black heart."

Li Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, you have also seen a landlord. A landlord is not only good at exploitation, he also needs to know how to farm, how to trade, and how to lend money. Being a landlord is a science."

"."

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to scold Li Ye a few times, but then he thought of something and began to ponder with a frown.

Finally, he said reluctantly: "Most of the landlords' abilities are just empty talk and nonsense. At most, they have only a little bit of window paper ability."

“But they have money and land.”

Li Ye said seriously: "Grandpa, a small farmer's family has no food to eat, no matter how smart they are, it is difficult to turn things around. But the landlords have money and land, so they have the capital to exploit."

"The current Dengta wants to transfer the best irrigated land to Japan and South Korea for cultivation. We want to rent their irrigated land, but they won't give it to us. They are only willing to rent us dry land that doesn't produce much food."

"We produce a shipload of shirts to exchange for one of their planes. This is the difference between irrigated land and dry land."

Li Ye's tone became deeper: "Grandpa, you didn't ask me what I was doing outside these years, and I didn't tell you, but I will tell you today.
I just want to steal their irrigated land. I want to develop higher-end industries. I will develop the industries they allow us to develop, and I will also quietly develop the industries they don’t allow us to develop.”

"."

Li Zhongfa was silent for several seconds, reached out to touch the cigarette box, and then realized that Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu were also there, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But Wen Qingsheng took out a cigarette box, handed one to Li Zhongfa, and lit it for Li Zhongfa.

This was only in the 1980s. If it were a few decades later, Wen Leyu would be able to fight the two of them.

Teacher Ke looked at Li Ye solemnly and said in a deep voice, "So this is the risk you mentioned? You stole their water for irrigation, and you are afraid of being threatened by them?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "It's definitely not a threat for the time being. This is not something that can be achieved overnight, but given our unyielding spirit, I think we will clash sooner or later." "If we clash, then we clash. Who's afraid of whom? It's like they've never beaten a landlord before."

Li Zhongfa put out the cigarette he had taken a few puffs of, then looked into Li Ye's eyes and asked, "What do you think? Your aunt Ke told me that you said on the phone that there was danger, so we flew over immediately.

You lured us here, so you don't have any plans in mind, right?"

"."

“Of course I have some plans in mind.”

Li Ye smiled and asked Li Zhongfa: "Grandpa, I heard from grandma that your guerrilla team was not very strong.
There were at least a dozen bandits and self-defense forces around here, why did you recruit them all in the end?"

Li Zhongfa laughed: "Because we have an organization and we have a backer!"

"Yes, I have a backer."

Li Ye let out a long breath, looked up at Teacher Ke and others, and said calmly: "From an economic point of view, there are many modes of doing business, such as speculation and investment.

I have been speculating more in recent years and investing less. I have been lucky and made a lot of money. Many financial tycoons and investment businessmen in Lighthouse follow a similar path to mine. "

"To be honest, with the money I have now, my family can build as much as they want and we won't be able to spend it all in our lifetime.
But if I continue on this path, I will have to stop in a few years at most, because I am making too much money, after all, money can bring disaster.”

Money, when it reaches a certain level, will definitely bring disaster. The two people with the surname Zhao in later generations are examples of this.
Zhao Moupeng has a lot of bodyguards, right? Otherwise, he would have been the one to deal with the incident in Bali, but he still lost in the end.
If he, who plays with coins, can be said to be not presentable, then the other one who drove the car into the water, whose family business is ranked among the top 100 lighthouse companies, can't be said to be not presentable?
And when money reaches a certain amount, it is just a string of numbers. What is more attractive than numbers?

Li Ye knew it very well.

Li Ye took a breath and said, "So I want to take another approach - betting on the country's destiny. I will invest all the money I earn from speculation into the manufacturing industry in the mainland. I want to increase the workers' wages, and I want to update the factory's technology and equipment.
I try my best to steal the high-tech industries that the mainland needs, and we all prosper together and suffer together. Some companies in Dengta also follow this path. "

Li Ye sighed and continued, "But this path is easier said than done. It's much harder than making money through speculation."

"."

Teacher Ke looked at Li Ye and asked seriously, "What do you think is difficult?"

Li Ye said directly: "I am short of people. I don't have enough suitable people, scientific research talents, management talents, and talents who share the same aspirations with me.
My original intention was to first invest in high-tech industries in Dengta, and then, through complex international business operations, disperse the risks, and then find a way to transfer them to the mainland. Each of these processes requires people, capable people of our own.”

Li Ye spread his hands and said helplessly: "But where can I find so many people? Besides, I don't even have all my hair grown, will they believe me? On the other hand, how can I know if he is trustworthy?"

In the construction of a large enterprise, capital, technology and equipment are indeed indispensable, but "people" are the key.

A smoothly functioning management team cannot be set up overnight by just spending some money.

The Fenghua brand clothing run by Li Ye is the enterprise with the lowest entry barrier. It was only by poaching many experienced workers from various state-owned clothing factories that it was able to get it up and running and expand.

So how many people are needed in mid-range manufacturing?

Now Li Ye wants to bring high-tech products home from overseas. Where can he find such a person? How can he trust him?
The problem is that Li Ye is not investing in an industry or a company. With so many CEO vacancies, where can he find people to fill them?

To put it bluntly, if a core manager were to betray his own company, a plan might fail, and even Li Ye might be put in harm's way.

If you don’t have a backer, you’ll be detained overseas and never be able to come back.

But after Li Ye finished talking about this "huge difficulty", both Teacher Ke, Wen Qingsheng and Li Zhongfa laughed.

Teacher Ke said: "If you are talking about foreign exchange, we are short of it, but if you are talking about people, we are not short of it."

Li Zhongfa said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by 'yet to be fully grown'? You are young, but we are still here! We may not know other things, but we are good at selecting reliable talents."

Wen Qingsheng also smiled and said: "The risks you mentioned are actually nothing. We have rich experience in fighting behind enemy lines, and we haven't lost our old traditions, right?"

Li Ye felt relieved when he saw that the three elders had expressed their opinions.

Some difficulties that are difficult for an individual are nothing at all for a strong organization.

Someone in later generations once said: The career of an official is full of twists and turns, and this land is full of talented losers.
If you just give him a chance, he can make your life a living hell.
